Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are the walking definition of #CoupleGoals (even Taylor Swift agrees), so it’s not surprising that they support each other’s movies. What is surprising is that without Blake’s encouragement, we might not even have a Deadpool movie at all (cue all the gasps!)

When Ryan began to doubt whether or not he was right for the title role in Deadpool, Blake was right there to help](http://www.popsugar.com/celebrity/Ryan-Reynolds-2017-Critics-Choice-Awards-Quotes-42836526).

“There was a minute where I even thought, 'Maybe I shouldn't do the movie,' because it had been this thing with such a build-up,” Ryan said. “And she was the one that said, 'You gotta do it. You absolutely have to do it. It's your dream role. The role you're meant to play. So you've got to get up there and do it.’ She's been epic for me in every way."

Is that sweet or what? Blake’s steadfast support has really paid off. Ryan was honored with the entertainer of the year award and also walked away with best actor in a comedy at Sunday’s Critics’ Choice Awards in LA. (His turn as the unconventional vigilante landed a nod for a Golden Globe.) Deadpool also won best comedy, and without Ryan (and Blake!), this probably wouldn’t have happened.

“Working on Deadpool, she sat with me on so many sleepless nights. That thing really took — not just me, but our team — it really took our last drop of blood to get that thing going,” said Ryan. “It was an 11-year process for me.”
